The Songfactor's Choice Top Ten #251

[Lucky]

Sweet Joni - Neil Young

His tribute to Joni Mitchell, beautiful, pure Neil

Lovely song. Previously unreleased (that I can find anyway), this song from the bootleg recording titled Last Album, is from a 1973 concert at the Civic Auditorium in Bakersfield CA. Info about the circumstances surrounding the recordings is both interesting and sad: link

thanks for that add'l info. I have that bootleg and that's how i knew the song. I guess it goes against the early "rules" of the TT that the songs shouldn't be obscure tracks...this may be as obscure as it gets....
